1963 Map of Simeonof Island D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Bird Island rises from the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean in this mid-century survey of the Shumagin Islands area. The map, based on 1962 aerial photography, provides a detailed topographic record of this isolated landmass, reaching its southern terminus at Point Welcome. To the southeast, the depths of Otter Strait separate the island from its neighbors, while the small outcroppings known as the Twins stand alone to the north. This document reflects a period of intensive photogrammetric mapping by the Geological Survey and USC&GS, capturing the exact contours and shoreline of these remote Alaskan features before later environmental changes. It is a precise record of maritime geography, primarily defined by high-elevation ridges and the stark separation of the strait.
